THE JCB JS AUTO TRACKED EXCAVATOR RANGE

A machine for every taskFrom quarrying and demolition to house building,

general contracting, civil engineering, road and rail

construction and maintenance . . . there are many

common applications but no standard applications.

No one understands this more than JCB. That’s why

every machine in our JS tracked excavator range

provides the specific performance you need to get the

job done.

For example, the JS330 HRD (high reach) 3-piece

modular demolition dig-end can be replaced with a

standard boom and dipper configuration for increased

versatility and machine utilisation. We offer XD (extra

duty) models for particularly arduous applications. LR

(long reach) models for river and waterway maintenance

applications. LC (long carriage) for added stability and

a TAB (triple articulated boom) version for easier

transportation, digging closer to the machine and

greater lift capacity.

But it’s not just specific features that make JCB excavators

some of the most popular on the market. It’s also the fact

that these are the best excavators we have ever built:

powerful and fuel efficient for high performance and low

running costs, durable for good resale, comfortable for

excellent productivity, and reliable and easy to service for

minimum downtime. Plus, advanced technology controls

how much power you need and tells you when something

is wrong.

Our customers tell us these are the most advanced

hydraulic excavators ever . . . and our customers are

never wrong.

THE BEST EXCAVATOR WE

HAVE EVER BUILT

FAST FACTS● Turbocharged Isuzu Tier 3 engines are

quiet, powerful, reliable, durable and

highly fuel efficient

● Increased hydraulic flow makes machine

operation faster

● More dipper force, drawbar pull and

bucket dig force enhance performance

● Boom/slew priority as standard speeds

up truck loading

● Joystick-mounted track gear selection

makes changing travel speed easier

Controllable power

With the introduction of new legislation, the ongoing

roll out of the new Tier 3 Isuzu engines continues

across the entire JS Auto range, bringing with it a

whole host of benefits: increased power and torque,

reduced fuel consumption, increased productivity,

and reduced noise and vibration, to name but a few.

Plus you'll find these new engines also offer an

electronic governor, charge air cooling and common

rail high pressure injection for increased efficiency.

Components engineered in Japan have the edge

when it comes to precision work, so that’s where

the main hydraulic components are from. They give

you increased flow and pressure, which in turn

increase available power and speed for improved

dipper and bucket dig force, drawbar pull and work

equipment speeds. It’s also a regenerative system

where oil is recycled resulting in faster cycle times

and lower fuel consumption.

Moving on to the undercarriage, it’s less about

precision and more about sheer brute

force. For that you need European

engineering with the heavy duty X

frame construction that’s designed to

perform in the toughest conditions.

Plus, you get a higher tractive effort for climbing

and manoeuvring in rough terrain and soft ground

conditions.

Add it all together and you’ve got incredible power

and performance. But these machines don’t just

stop there. Thanks to an enhanced Advanced

Management System (AMS), they also put you in

total control. This intelligent on-board computer is

in charge of all the major functions, automatically

giving you that extra power and precision just when

you need it, while optimising fuel efficiency. We’ve

also moved the track gear selector from the floor to

the right joystick, allowing you to change speed at the

same time as carrying out other machine functions.

From the smallest JS115 to our biggest,

46-tonne JS460, these machines give

you incredible power along with the

fine control you need for accurate

and safe operation.

FAST FACTS● JS330 and 460 offer productive, reliable

performance in tough extraction duties

● JS220LR, 260LR, 330LR and 460LR

long reach boom and dippers bring

normally inaccessible areas within reach

● Under-20-tonne machines are easy

to use, safe and versatile, ideal for

house building

● JS220LC TAB extracts trench boxes

and removes sheet piling with ease

● JS330ME optimises mass extraction

boom and arm configurations

maximising production rates

A machine for every application

These same machines also offer versatile, reliable

performance in civil engineering, and highway and

rail construction and maintenance applications. But

we also provide specialist equipment for dedicated

tasks in these industries. For example: the JS460LR

is purpose designed to give long reach at 24 metres,

ideal for river and waterway maintenance, irrigation

and swamp draining; the JS220LC TAB features

high-lift capability for extracting trench boxes and

removing sheet piling; and the JS330ME with its

optimised boom and arm configuration is ideal for

the mass extraction of bulk material.

There are 14 models in the JS Auto tracked range,

with options of undercarriage and work equipment,

so it comes as no surprise that JCB can supply the

perfect excavator for virtually any task.

Take the quarrying and aggregates industries. They

are looking for the high, consistent productivity,

superb durability and excellent fuel efficiency offered

by our over 20-tonne machines. For instance,

the JS330 and 460 offer fast, efficient cycle times,

expected uptime of around 98% and a robust

undercarriage and running gear. And the JS220LR,

260LR, 330LR and JS460LR feature long-reach

boom and dippers to get to even the most

inaccessible mineral deposits or for clearing irrigation

canals or ditches.

When it comes to house building and general

contracting, it’s more about: ease of use so that

different operators can quickly get to grips with

the controls; a good compact design with excellent

all-round visibility for safe working in a busy

environment; and versatility, with machines being

required to carry, dig, grade, load and lift. Excellent

choices here from our under 20-tonne range are

the JS115, 130LC and 145LC, plus the enhanced

power and lift of the JS160, 180 and 190.

FAST FACTS● Controls positioned within easy reach

result in effortless operation

● Fully adjustable AMS monitor, seat and

joysticks give the best working position

● Enhanced heating and air conditioning

put climate control at your fingertips

● Low-level engine cover and modern

styling significantly improve visibility

● Sliding both front screens overhead

avoids damage

The new generation JS Autos offer our best cab yet.

For a start, it’s extremely spacious with a sleek

interior design and all the ergonomically designed

controls within easy reach. So every operator can

find the most comfortable position, we have also

ensured the upgraded suspension seat and AMS

monitor are fully adjustable.

When you’re actually sitting inside the cab you’ll find

it extremely comfortable. By viscous mounting the

whole cab structure, we have been able to reduce

noise and vibration levels, and the new Tier 3 engines

are significantly quieter giving you a 1.5dB drop in

a typical JS220 cab. The positive pressure design

with ventilation system reduces dust ingress.

Plus, enhanced heating, optional climate control

(standard on the JS330 and 460) and opening front

window and side windows let you achieve the

optimum cab temperature.

We have also thought about all the essential extras

that make your working life a bit easier. So there’s

a radio mute switch, a timed interior light you can

switch on from ground level for access in the dark,

an easy-close door, phone holder and charger,

plenty of storage space and much more.

Comfort and visibility

These amazing machines go a long way to reducing

the stress and fatigue that come with the territory.

But, thanks to incredible all-round visibility, they also

make it easier and safer to do the job.

With large tinted glass areas on all sides, there is

a clear view overhead, enhanced by the clever

positioning of the wiper motor, and to both tracks,

particularly to the edge of the front right track.

To the rear, the new low-level engine cover gives

excellent visibility and to the front you can securely

store the lower screen inside the upper one before

effortlessly sliding the whole lot overhead.

FAST FACTS● AMS ensures maximum productivity at

minimum operating cost

● Four selectable work modes give

ultimate operating efficiency

● Increased diagnostics (no PC required)

make servicing easier and quicker

● A full record of machine history

aids resale and pinpoints faults quickly

● Cushion control protects the machine

and operator from shock loadings

Complete controllability

The AMS also alerts you the instant there’s a problem

and records all the machine’s key operating data:

the time it has spent in each mode, attachment

hours used, tracking time, and much more. What

you get is a picture of the machine’s use that can

be used to diagnose problems as well as a machine

history that is invaluable when it comes to resale.

In addition to AMS, every tracked Auto excavator

also features cushion control to the boom and dipper

services. For convenience and efficiency, this is always

on until deselected. It works to cushion the shock

loadings to the machine (protecting your investment)

and the operator (making life more comfortable).

Cushion control activated increases cycle times but

provides greater controllability and reduces shock

loadings. Cushion control de-activated

results in faster cycle times for

maximum productivity.

We’ve talked about the ergonomic layout of controls

in all new generation tracked JS cabs. To make

controlling the incredible potential of these machines

even easier, we have also introduced an enhanced

Advanced Management System (AMS) as standard

on all models.

This intelligent but easy-to-use system controls

all the machine’s major functions for maximum

productivity and fuel efficiency, and minimum

operating costs. A compact design with an anti-glare

screen and clear, easy to use inter face, the AMS has

four operating modes:

● AUTO automatically switches between

MAXIMUM POWER and ECONOMY

depending on hydraulic system loading

● ECONOMY gives you maximum fuel efficiency

in normal digging conditions by reducing

hydraulic pressure, hydraulic flow and engine rpm

● PRECISION further reduces hydraulic flow and

engine rpm giving you more control and accuracy

for fine work and grading

● LIFTING gives maximum power with reduced

oil flow for controllability

FAST FACTS● Modern design reduces risk of damage

to superstructure

● 1000-hour greasing intervals on boom-

base and boom-to-dipper pins reduce

service time and costs

● Cushion control ensures smooth

operation and reduces wear and tear

● Isuzu Tier 3 engines coupled with

JCB AMS maximise productivity

while keeping fuel consumption to

a minimum

● Enhanced access makes field

maintenance much easier and

quicker for minimum downtime

Build quality, service access and profit

And finally, service access is a whole lot better too.

A hinged belly plate makes getting to the engine sump

much simpler and there is a quick-fit drain pipe for

use on engine-oil and fuel-tank drain plugs. All the

steps and top covers are fitted with non-slip, heavy

duty panels, and with the new Tier 3 engine comes

true ground level servicing, including a digital display

as part of the in-cab AMS for engine oil checks, and

remote engine oil and fuel filters. When you look

inside the bays, you’ll see the finish is extremely high

quality, there’s plenty of space and it’s well laid out

for easy access to serviceable parts.

Reliable, economical and durable,

these machines make you more

profit on each job and give

you a higher resale

value . . . if you

can bear to part

with them.

Whether it’s the heaviest digging work at the quarry

face, or versatile performance on the construction

site, JCB tracked excavators are designed to cost

you less while making you more.

So first, these machines come with superb damage

protection as standard: curved side skirts and a big

clearance over the tracks reduce damage to the

superstructure; guards shield the undercarriage

from debris; and cushion control on boom and

dipper services reduces wear and tear on machine

parts at the same time as making things more

comfortable for the operator.

Next, we have paid close attention to reducing

the cost of running and servicing these machines.

You’ll find that the new Isuzu Tier 3 engine and AMS

mean you can move more material for less fuel,

your first engine oil and filter service is at 500 hours,

we’ve moved greasing intervals on boom-base and

boom-to-dipper pins from 50 to 1000 hours, and

there is a large single engine oil filter instead of two.

In addition, while you don’t need a laptop to service

the JS Autos, you can download the operating history

from the AMS when you need it to make your service

engineer’s life easier.
